As one ton of refined manganese requires 6,500 kWh, so total electric power costs increased by RMB 182/mt after the electricity price was lifted by RMB 0.028/kWh. Costs of selenium dioxide, sulfuric acid and ammonia increased by 131/mt; ore powder costs increased by RMB 160/mt after ore powder prices grew by RMB 20/mt in some regions (while ore powder prices remain unchanged in other regions, only with a sign of supply tightness of ore powder).

In total, production costs at manganese producers increased by approximately RMB 400/mt.
